Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire are set to commence the construction of a 243-kilometre 330-kilovolt (kV) double-circuit transmission line as part of the West Africa Power Pool (WAPP) initiative aimed at boosting regional energy integration and grid reliability.

The cross-border infrastructure, expected to significantly enhance electricity exchange between the two countries, will also contribute to the stability of power networks across the West African subregion.

Estimated at a total cost of €154.4 million, the project scope includes environmental and social impact mitigation measures, construction supervision, and project management, with feasibility studies confirming its technical and financial viability in Ghana.
